According to Encryption-Files | Nutanix Community1, SMB3 message encryption is a feature that encrypts messages on the file server side and decrypts them on the client side. However, clients that do not support encryption (Linux, Mac, windows 7) cannot access a share with encryption enabled.

According to Nutanix Support & Insights2, Nutanix Files supports SMB3 encryption for SMB3 client-server traffic. This means that only clients that support SMB3 protocol can access encrypted shares.

Therefore, if the users are accessing the shares from Linux desktops, they will not be able to access them because Linux does not support SMB3 encryption.

"Kubernetes is not correctly reporting its storage usage." The NCC checks run on the nodes in the cluster and may report storage usage differently based on how they are being executed. Additionally,the administrator notes that the Kubernetes pod reports that the usage is 55% used disk space, which is different than what the NCC checks report.

One possible cause of this discrepancy is that Kubernetes is not correctly reporting its storage usage. It is recommended that the administrator checks the Kubernetes storage configuration to ensure it is set up correctly and that Kubernetes is able to accurately report the storage usage. It may also be necessary to update or reinstall Kubernetes if there are any issues with the installation.

Nutanix Objects is a software-defined object storage solution that provides scalable and secure data storage for unstructured data1. MSP is responsible for routing requests from clients to Objects clusters and providing load balancing and high availability1. To update MSP, you need to perform an LCM inventory and select MSP from the software updates list1.

To add additional volumes to a VM that is mapped to a VG, you need to add more vDisks to that VG1. vDisks are virtual disks that reside on Storage Containers2.

To maintain data protection for a VM that is assigned to a Protection Domain (PD), you need to add any new vDisks to the same Consistency Group (CG) as the existing ones3. A CG is a subset of entities in a PD that are snapshotted in a crash-consistent manner2.

Creating a Files distributed share with multi-protocol access would allow for easy and efficient transfer of log files between the Linux collector package and the Windows application. This would provide simplicity in terms of configuration and management, and would also ensure that the log files are stored in a distributed and highly available manner, making it easier to access them as and when required.

, Files is a software-defined scale-out file storage solution that provides a single namespace for unstructured data2. Files supports both SMB and NFS protocols, which means you can access the same share from both Linux and Windows machines3. This would provide the best performance and simplicity for your log collector package and analysis application.

According to Nutanix Support & Insights1, Access-based enumeration (ABE) is a Windows feature that filters the list of available files and folders on the file server to include only those the requesting user can access. ABE can be enabled on a per-share basis for SMB shares.

Therefore, if the Files administrator wants to ensure that users in the accounting share can only see folders they have permission to access, they can enable ABE on the accounting share.

S3 stands for simple storage service and it is a widely used object storage protocol that allows you to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web. SMBv2 stands for server message block version 2and it is a file sharing protocol that enables access to files on remote servers. Nutanix Unified Storage Objects supports both S3 and SMBv2 protocols for data access.

iscsiadm is a command-line tool that allows you to manage iSCSI connections and devices. The error message shown in the exhibit indicates that there is a problem with connecting to the iSCSI target at x.x.x.250.

Nutanix volume groups are collections of vDisks that can be exposed to virtual machines or physical hosts using iSCSI protocol. Nutanix volume groups have a whitelist feature that allows you to specify which clients can access them.

• B. The administrator has a mistake when inputting the data services IP. This could cause the iscsiadm command to fail to discover or login to the iSCSI target at x.x.x.250. The administrator should verify that they have entered the correct data services IP for the Nutanix volume group.
• D. The client’s IQN is no longer in the whitelist of the affected VG. This could cause the iSCSI target to reject or ignore the connection request from the client. The administrator should check that they have added or updated the client’s IQN in the whitelist of the Nutanix volume group.

According to File Auditing and Analytics for your Nutanix Files Enterprise Cloud1, File Analytics is a feature that captures real-time user audit data and file metadata for Nutanix Files environments. It allows you to create custom reports based on various criteria such as file type, size, owner, access time, etc.

According to Nutanix Files 3.8 and File Analytics 3.0 | Nutanix Community2, File Analytics allows you to add new file categories based on custom file extensions such as .zyx or .zzz. You can then use File Distribution View to see a collapsed view of space usage, number of files, and changes within a given time frame for each file category.

Therefore, if the administrator needs to analyze data created by a custom application that uses custom-built file extensions such as .zyx or .zzz, they can add a new file category in File Analytics and use File Distribution View to provide the required information.

According to Nutanix Support & Insights1, a distributed share is a type of SMB share that distributes the hosting of top-level directories across FSVMs. To access a distributed share, you need to use a DNS name that resolves to all FSVMs in the cluster.

If some DNS records are missing or incorrect, then some FSVMs may not be reachable by their DNS name, resulting in the network object not found error. This could explain why data located on FSVM 3 can be accessed, but data located on FSVMs 1 and 2 is inaccessible.

According to the Nutanix Support & Insights website1, capacity runway is an estimate of how long your cluster can support its current workload before running out of resources2. The exhibit shows that your cluster has a storage runway of only 1 month, which means you will run out of storage space soon. However, your CPU and memory runways are much longer (more than 2 years), which means you have plenty of CPU and memory resources available. Therefore, it might be possible to reduce the storage capacity requested by your workload or optimize your storage utilization to extend your storage runway. Alternatively, you could also increase the storage capacity for physical nodes or add new physical nodes to the configuration, but these options might be more costly and complex.
